There should be a drain plug on the side of the engine to drain the oil back out.
It is amazing how dumb some of these comments are. It seems that only the dumbest people in the world choose to offer 'solutions' on message boards like this one, and nearly all of them, including all of the above except for nobaddog230, are just laughable.
You can drain the oil from the fill point. Just remove the dipstick and tip the mower. Be sure to use SAE30 and not 10w30.
The 10w30 will cause excess pressure. Use carb cleaner on your carburetor.

this is a very common problem with these toro mowers. the needle valve in the bowl of the carb. is plugged up with dirt or varnish from the fuel. just under the primer bulb there is the carb bowl. it has a nut under it that holds it on remove the bowl and make sure fuel flows constantly while the bowl is off. push up on the float to stop the gas flow. this could be messy and dangerous. careful with the gas. its flammable. best solution is to remove the carb and soak it overnight in a parts cleaner like gunk. caution small parts inside. this happins every year on mine no matter what i do. seems like the orifice is so small it clogs easily. good luck

it isn't the spark plug if it wont turn over. maybe your battery is dead.

You overfilled the oil. If the mower runs, just go ahead and mow grass until it runs the oil out of the gas tank. Or you can empty the gas tank and fill with new gas. White smoke is not a serious problem. Only a hassle.
